The night School

of the Mechanics' Institute is in session three nights in each week, and a large number of pupils are attending it. To those who have taken, no interest in this school, but a poor idea can be formed of the vast good it is effecting in the laboring classes and with their children. Such an institution, in other cities, would have received donations enough to have placed it on the firmest foundations; while here, it is left to be pushed along by a few persons, who devote their energies to it, and who are determined to build it up and make it invaluable to the apprentices of Richmond.
